What It Helps Address

• Fluid seepage at the front axle or intermediate shaft seal area
• Loss of sealing at the left-hand front outer driveline interface
• Contamination entering the axle shaft sealing surface
• Service replacement for worn or damaged axle shaft seals
• Noise or driveline concerns caused by degraded sealing components

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle’s front left outer position and intermediate shaft configuration before ordering. Match the seal to the exact application listed for your Infiniti Q50, Q60, Q70, QX50, QX70, or Nissan GT-R, and inspect the sealing surface for wear before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Timken is a recognized name in driveline and sealing components, and SL260168 is cataloged for the listed OE-style applications. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation.
